Set Up an S3 Server on Synology NAS

Installing Container Manager and MinIO Server

• See list of Synology Applied Models for Container Manager (Docker). If your model is supported navigate to the Package Center and install Container Manager (Docker) app.

• Open the Container Manager app and navigate to Registry. Search for minio and select minio/minio. Double click minio/minio and choose the latest build and download container image.

• Deploy the image by giving it a name and selecting auto-restart and click Next.

• The container will use both ports 9000 and 9090 (TCP). Define that under Port Settings.

• Create a folder with some name in the /docker shared folder, or your own /minio root shared folder and mount that under Volume Settings as /data

• Add two new Environment variables MINIO_ROOT_USER and MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD to set the root user credentials. NOTE: The password and username will be logged, you should generate a long random string for this (further reading)

• You have to have the Execution Command configured to actually get it to run the Minio server. Otherwise the container just exists. Set the execution command to: minio server /data --console-address ":9090"

• That was all of the required settings. Your Summary page should look like this.

• You now have a MinIO S3 server. Verify it is running by selecting Container and checking the status.

Creating a Bucket

• Open a Browser and type in your NAS IP along with 9090 as the port (e.g. 192.168.0.30:9090) to access the Minio Object Store web page.

• Enter the configured username and password to access the Object Store web page.

• Choose Create a Bucket and enter the desired bucket name and click Create Bucket.
